I really love Alice Roberts humour, and wondered if this is a purely British thing, or can the American majority here, see the fun as well ? This gets off to a bit of a slow start, but for anyone from the US wondering about attitudes to religion in different cultures, it is perhaps worth sticking with it for that alone.

Morals without religion. Lots of people seem obsessed with this idea. Personally I have not given morals too much of a thought. Most of us do what works for us and what pleases us.

I think that morals come perfectly naturally to humans, except when your culture skrews them arround, especially for evil purposes. The reason why many sceptics are thinking a lot about the idea, is of course because there is a need to counter the quite false argument of religious appologists, that you can't have morals without religion. Even though it is of course ironically the religious who most like to skrew morals arround.

Though actually A. Roberts video is not really about that subject, but just a slightly funny autobiography of a humanist.

Makes a lot of sense to me. I might be missing some of the humour without the context but the practicality of her speech resonates here in America as well.

I’d never heard of her, but confess my “pop culture” knowledge is shallow, even in my own country. She is a very interesting speaker. If I ever get any time, I’d like to read her books.
“Bishop checks Mrs. Knight” is so typical of British humor.
